Default Alonso -Is he worthy???

Okay, some ppl may hate me now

But I keep hearing these names being mixed up in the world 'senna, schumi, prost, alonso' -Im sorry Alonso is not worthy of being mixed with such names. I still dont rate him as much as everyone else does.
Okay, hes certainly quick, hes cool under pressure (as we saw in his nice defence from Schumi earlier in the Year). Hes certainly got the arrogant attitude of a champ (as we see after every race with his gestures and hes over-competive attitute).

But to be honest the understeery mega traction Renault has to be the easiest car to drive this season, super reliable as well. Alonso outclassed Trulli last year , which unsurprisingly isnt that difficult in race trim. We've still never seen that lad on his back foot apart from that mo with Schumacher. Hes cruising to a title at the moment in my opinion.

Give me an example of when we've seen this guy using true overtaking aggression on track. If you remember in Silverstone when he got held up by Trulli he got frustrated and was all over the place. And he certainly fears Kimi.

Okay, he gave Fisi a shock and outclassed a true talent although I think Fisi's been handed dodgy racecars and his latin temperament gets in the way of his talent(confidence shatters when he has bad luck)

But I think giving Alonso the crown this year dont feel rite...give him a few years and who knows we may have a true legend of racing...but not yet.

Bring on the abuse!
